"I will set My glory among the nations"

Text: Ezekiel 39:21

GOD’S GLORY

Ezekiel was given a vision where he saw the glory of God departing from the Temple and from the land of Israel (Ezekiel 10). The gross sins of Israel had caused God to bring judgment upon the nation.

In the latest word from the Lord, Ezekiel was instructed concerning the glory of God. He will reveal His glory once again.

“I will set My glory among the nations;
all the nations shall see My judgment which I have executed,
and My hand which I have laid on them.
So the house of Israel shall know that
I am the Lord their God from that day forward.”
Ezekiel 39:21-22
